Good article!

Only thing I can see that should probably be expanded a little is the role of Tom Cox, who is commonly regarded as a significant spoiler in that election. Also, Kulongoski's unknown position on a casino in the Columbia Gorge got a lot of attention -- I can find sources for that soon. Good work! -Pete (talk) 21:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments, I spotted a source on Tom Cox's role as I was writing the article so should be able to include that tomorrow. Davewild (talk) 22:01, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
